Christmas 2010

Christmas 2010 was a success!!!  The boys were super excited to see what Santa had brought them!!  They were so cute to watch together.  Andrew has discovered that he does not like tissue paper so much it was pretty funny although he didn't think so.  Colin was ready to open the next present before he even opened the one before it!  We want to thank all of you for sending us presents or Christmas wishes we really are lucky to have you all and love every single one of you!!  So enjoy some of our highlights I am working on editing my pictures with a new program my old high school friend uses (which is so much fun).


These are our Snow globe Cookies we made...it lasted about 1 cookie each for them...then they left the rest of them up to Brandi and I to do the rest!!

We all know how excited I was about my Pink mixer (hint my last post) so we got some good action out of her already and Momma Loves it so does Peanut it makes his favorite Cup Cakes :)

Christmas Eve was spent at Nanny's and Pop Pop's house along with Uncle Sean & Uncle Bobby!  We had a nice dinner then it was present time from the family.  Once we got home we put out Santa's cookies and milk.  Once the kiddos were asleep Santa came and our house was ready for Christmas Morning!

And then there was Christmas!!!  So we had a great day!  The family came over to our house to enjoy some yummy treats and spend some time with the kiddos.  At the end of the day Mommy and Daddy were exhausted and the end result was us in our pj's on the couch with a house looking like a disaster however we all had a great day THE END!!!!

Pink Kitchen Aid Mixer

All I wanted for Christmas was my Pink Kitchen Aid Mixer and I got IT!!!!  My wonderful husband bought me mixer for Christmas and I was like a little kid last night couldnt wait to open the box and look at my new beautiful addition to my kitchen!!!  She will get a lot of use and be loved!!!  First thing I am going to make is Cupcakes for Christmas!!!!!

                                                   
                                                         She will be used and loved!!!!



Proud of my Pumpkin-Head

So last night I had my parent conference meeting for Colin and I must say I am one proud Momma!!!  He is doing so well...he is above grade level in reading and spelling and meets standards in everything else!!!  I am so happy for him!!!  I thought he was not as far along in spelling boy was I wrong!!!

Early December

So far we have already done our tradition Drive through the Gift of Lights, Seen Santa and took silly pictures in front of our Tree and Fireplace!  Andrew has not liked Santa for the past 2 years, but we have made progress this year he has actually went up to Santa talked to him, gave him a couple high fives...but when it came time to sit on his lap he wanted nothing to do with it!!! He ended up on Mrs. Clause lap!  Colin has his first school Holiday Performance today, he was really excited about this and couldn't wait for us to see him on stage!  He is nothing like his mother because I have always been afraid of the stage and not done too well on it!  So I hope you enjoy our pictures of what we have done so far!!!!

This was Colin after our Drive through lights with his hat we got from it!!!

Here is my boys with Mr. & Mrs. Clause

November Fun

Oh so I am so behind on this blog...I have not had a lot of time these past few months!  November was a very fun filled month!  I did a Sweet 16 party and a Baby shower for my best friend Brandi and not to mention it was Thanksgiving which I cooked!  So I will show you some of my highlights of the past month and try and get an early start on Dec. (even though we are half way done).

Busy Busy October!!!!

So our month of October was a super busy one!!!  I had the Breast Cancer Walk, The Pumpkin Patch, Colin's school Harvest Festival, Colin's Halloween School Party and then of course Halloween all this month!!!  We were always doing something every weekend this past month.  I hope you enjoyed the slide show of Colin's Harvest Festival and Halloween!  The boys had a blast Trick or Treating with Nanny and our best friends the Rubio's!!!  They got lots of great candy for Mommy and Daddy haha

As for this month its a little more laid back...although I have taken on a few projects of planning a few parties!  I am doing a sweet 16th Party tonight for Alexis and next weekend is her moms turn for her baby shower!  I have done some cool new stuff for the baby shower I will take pictures to show everyone what I have learned to do and still trying to play around with Photo Shop!!!  Turkey Day is going to be at our House...so I get to make the Turkey yummy in everyone's tummy!!!

Pumpkin Patch @ McKee Ranch

Well we went to a new pumpkin patch this year at McKee Ranch!  It was a cute place with animals, hay rides, horse & pony rides!!  They had hay stacks like pyramids that the boys could climb!  Very fun, we met some friends there and picked out the best pumpkins ever!!! 

Date Night!!!

So Mommy and Daddy had date night on Sat. we just went had some drinks with some friends, its good to get out of the house even if it is for a little bit! 

On Sunday we took the kids to pick out their Halloween Costumes!!  Colin picked out some scary dude and Andrew picked out Woody (from Toy Story).  They came home put the costumes on and wouldn't take them off for a long time!  I think they are ready!!!  Next Sunday Corey and I are going to take the kiddo's to a real Pumpkin Patch out here!  I am real excited because I have never been to one and never knew Las Vegas had them!  So pictures will follow of that!

Breast Cancer Walk 2010

Today we walked 3.5 miles to help find a Cure for Breast Cancer!  I must say the walk was up a pretty decent hill but it really wasnt too bad!  Stephanie, Johanna, Tiana and I all had a great time as we were Team Royal Bust!!!  Not only do I get to wear my favorite color Pink but it was also a walk for me to remember someone really special to me that passed from this Cancer Deborah will always be in my heart and I miss you tons!  I also walked for my mother-in-law that is a survivor Rose Ryan we are lucky to still have you around!!!  Please enjoy the slide show I put together!

Hello Everyone
